Thought Seeds

“[The] solution did not, like the typical industrial solution,
involve the making of a problem, or a series of problems, elsewhere.
It involved the making of a solution elsewhere:
the same work that improved the road improved the fields.”

--  Wendell Berry, 1990. "What are people for?" North Point Press, New York: p.121.

To implement such a solution check out Bill Zydeek’s book, "A Good Road Lies Easy on the Land...Water Harvesting from Low-Standard Rural Roads" – available for free download at www.QuiviraCoalition.org
